lists OF this city, fought a sxteen-round battle
at Bellevue Station. near this city. last night
for purse Of $500. They fought under the
Marquis OF Queensberry rules with skin
gloves and at catch weights. MCCARTHY
weighed about 14O pounds and Corners about
pound less. MCCARTHY was In much better
condition than his antagonist and In the first
round began rushing him. Corners had plenty
other mans blows. and by the time the third
round was over he was pretty badly marked,
over the heart, but without apparent effect,
while Mccarthy made every blow tell.
There was ysrv little science displayed by
either man. They Just stood up and slugged
ayoid punishment, In the, sixteenth round
Mccarthy fought Corners to his knees, and
then. although the fight was sure to end n
on the ground. Conners's seconds Immediate
ly claimed u foul. which the referee allowed,
and at onco awarded the fight to their man,
Both Of the men showed marks Of their pun
ishment, although Corners was decidedly the
greater sufferer Of the two.

He spoke without notes, and quoted both prose
and poetry without any apparent effort Of
memory. On the pulpit platform with him was
Assistant Pastor Halliday. Chrysanthemums
and golden rods filed a vase on one side OF
the platform and brown autumn leaves chung
to branches thrust into q tall vase on the other
side. A large congregation listened to the SER
